About One Week Job

Along the St. Lawrence RiverHow it works is simple!

Any company or individual anywhere in the world can offer me a job for one week. The job can be absolutely anything, anywhere - garbage collection, actor, working the family farm, a suit and tie corporate position…

I am traveling anywhere in the world working 52 different jobs in 52 weeks trying to figure out what to do with my life.

After finishing college with a business degree, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t settle for a career that I am not truly passionate about. My goal is to gain a better understanding of what I need in a career to be happy and inspire others to go after their passions.

Instead of paying me for the week, you make a donation (amount of your choice) to the Make Poverty History / ONE Campaign.

I am able to sustain the project through the kindness of strangers; staying at peoples houses each week, taking the bus, hitch hiking, and with $1000/month provided by NiceJob.ca to help with costs.

On Week #19, my best friend Ian MacKenzie joined me on the road as videographer. We began sharing what I am learning through our weekly Internet TV Show as well as blog entries and photos. Learn more about The One Week Job Team.

Sound like fun? Good, join me for the journey!

WHY YOU SHOULD OFFER ME A JOB

  1. You would be helping myself and others in my generation figure out what it is we should or should not be doing with our lives
  2. You would bring exposure to you or your company as it would be featured on this website, as well as being highlighted in my media interviews (previous media)
  3. You would be helping raise money and awareness for the Make Poverty History / ONE Campaign
  4. I am a hardworker, have lots of energy and am a quick learner
  5. And last but not least, you would get to spend a week with me!

So go ahead and make me an offer. Here’s how!

Can’t offer me a job, but you want to get involved in the project?

No problem. If you are willing to have me as a guest in your home for a night, two nights, or the whole five days… send me an email or give me a call! I am pretty darn good at dishes, courteous, make my bed/couch, would love to meet you, and would greatly appreciate it!

Can’t offer me a job or a place to stay, but want to hang out while I am in town?

That’s cool too, I am always up for meeting new people, and try to have a send off every Thursday night in each city with all the people I have met and worked with during that week.

Or, help me find a ‘One Week Job!’
